The New York Herald rather gets the
better OF the Louisville COurier-J0urna, in
a recent dispute. The Courier journal
laid down the proposition tina. I'VE are
taxing ourselves on over 1000 duty pay
ing articles when we can raise every dol
lar of revenue We need on fifteen or
twenty" and followed this up with long
lament upon the lack dictatorship among
democrats in general and on the part of
the administration in partic ular. The
Herald refers its contemporary to page
544 of the report Of Secretary Manning
made as long ago as February of last year,
where not only is similar suggestion
made, but the secretary explains in full
detail what revenue may be expected
from each OF the Fifteen or twenty
sources. Both the president and his
secretary have vigorously pointed out the
evils of our present tariff. They have
never tried to evade their responsibility as
the natural leaders OF the party: but the
trouble has been that minority OF the
party-small in numbers. it is true. but
still large enough to defeat every moves
ment towards reform has refused to
follow their leadership.

How American labor is protected in
the matter of steel rails is qnitc foreibly
stated in the New York Herald:
Steel rails are now sold in this country
foT from thirty seven to thirty>eight dol
lars per ton. Two years ago they were
sold for twenty-seven dollars per ton
Under this increase the wages of the
wOrkmen have been advanced about two
dollars and seventy cents per ton. The
rest. or seven dollars and thirty cents per
ton, is quietly pocketed by the capitalist
employers.
A million aud a half of steel rails are
produced annually in this country. Pro,
tected capitalists employers gain thus
over ten millions of dollars out of the adj
vanced price for their own share of pros
teetioa. This is divided among the own
ers of eight steel rail mills. These cap
italists are very urgent for protection to
American labor" OF course protection
to American labor is very good thing
for the employers, but why don't the
workmen get their share? or, if they
don't, why not call it protection to
American capitalists and monopolists? p

What Railroad Men Say.

KANSAS CRY, Nc, Jan. 13-The Ms.
souri, Pacific officials here state that the
wreck is the result of a third attempt upon
the life of Dewitt, the engineer They say
some of the men engaged in the strike last
spring cherished a gr'ldge against Dewitt be-
cause he was an active supporter of the com
pany during the great strike. They assert
that the wreck near Wy andotte, for which
Hamilton has just been tried, was the result
of plot against Dewitt's life, but his train
was not the first to pass over the track as
they expected, Subsequently, they say, an
other attempt was made, and the last one is
the third. Several suspicious looking men,
it is said, were seen lettering about the sta
ton at Dunbar Tuesday. Tracks were
found leading from the scene of the wreck
which may furnish clew. The sheriff and
several others are searching the neighbor.

o'clock Tues lay night the south-bound pas
senger train on the Missouri Pacific extern
sion was thrown from the track about half a
mile east of Dunbar, Neb., and completely
wrecked The wreck was undoubtedly the
work of SONS miscreant who ia mpered with
the track, as an examination showed that
the ish-plates had been removed from the IN
81 lie rail and claw-bar was found four feet
from the track. 1t is stated that Dewitt,
the engineer. was not in favor of the
Knights of Labor, because of his loyalty to
the company, and that he had received sew

that within the last four months four
